First Look at Mines

Cross-posting from http://bumped.org/psublog/phantasy-star-online-2-jp-july-18th-update-with-mines/

Planet Lillipa expands with another area called the Subterranean Tunnels! Below the desert exists a facility that the previous civilization left behind.  Eerie sounds of machines still resonate deep within this mining facility. All Arks members who are level 33 and up can get clearance to explore this new area.

But your trip through this area won’t be easy, you’ll have to fight Darkers and brand new types of Mechs you haven’t seen before on the planet’s surface.

This update plans to add new quests, interrupt events and client orders.

Now this is something I'm excited for even despite not being level 33 yet. Still need to complete the level cap mission. Mines used to be my favorite area in Episode 1 and it's good to see some returning faces in PSO2.

Can't jack my style

the successor to the Sinow Beat and Sinow Gold unit. Looks like they got a few upgrades by the gundam department. Looks like he even kept the annoying habit of cloning itself. However the best news is the new boss.

If the video is any indicator this is looking to be a really fun boss fight. All those bullets, missiles, and lasers. Honestly this might look more appropriate

Real in-game footage.

sadly the human males seems to be neglected in costumes this update so that has me a bit disappointed, still going to save up my FUN points to try and Yukata Wear(ユカタヴィア) of course. A short blog post, not much to talk about that isn't already said in the news post. Expect more when the actual mines drop on Tuesday.
